USD/CAD Gains Some Ground At The Start Of The Week

USD/CAD gains some ground as traders ignore the continuation of rally in the gold markets. Rising oil prices did not provide additional support to Canadian dollar. Interestingly, other commodity-related currencies are moving higher in today’s trading session.

A move above the 1.3620 level will open the way to the test of the next resistance at 1.3700 – 1.3715.

RSI moved back into the moderate territory, so there is plenty of room to gain downside momentum in case the right catalysts emerge. In case USD/JPY pulls back below the 140.00 level, it will head towards the support at 138.50 – 139.00.
